Vision inspection and flexible feeding systems

Forte Automation Systems, Inc. has over 14 years experience as an automation integrator. A percentage of that experience has been integrating vision systems. Pharmaceutical, consumer goods, and manufacturing companies trust Forte Automation Systems as their vision integrator. Our vision expertise lies in two areas:

Vision Inspection Systems

Flexible Feeding Systems

  • High or low precision
  • Fast inspection times
  • Process inspection
  • Label / coding inspection
  • Up to four recirculating conveyors
  • Conveyors widths: 4" to 20"
  • Conveyor lengths: up to 120"
  • Multiple part families
  • Flexible Feeding - a brief overview
    Flexible feeding systems incorporate vision guided robots to pick parts off of a conveyor system. The operator simply needs to place the parts in bulk in a hopper and the parts are automatically laid on the conveyor. The vision system indexes the parts on the conveyor, determining how the part needs to be picked up, and then places it in an assembly or test unit. The primary advantages are: labor savings, as the robot can now determine part orientation; hardware savings, as the unit can adapt via software when part families undergo design changes; easy production of part families, as the system can determine differing parts within the same family - no tooling differences. For more information on how flexible feeding systems can save you time and money, email us or call us at (815) 633-2300.
